Today, the Bears revealed their latest stadium proposal to replace Soldier Field along Chicago’s lakefront, receiving support from the city’s mayor. However, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has expressed reservations.

Pritzker voiced concerns about taxpayers shouldering a significant portion of the project’s costs, stating, “I remain skeptical about this proposal and question whether it’s a wise use of taxpayer funds.” He emphasized competing priorities and suggested that sports teams should bear more responsibility for stadium financing, referencing the recent unsuccessful attempt by the Chiefs to secure taxpayer funding for stadium upgrades. Pritzker also expressed doubts about a similar proposal from the Chicago White Sox regarding a new ballpark.

 

The Bears’ proposal entails taxpayers covering approximately half of the projected $4.6 billion costs, including stadium construction and infrastructure enhancements. Pritzker emphasized the need for team owners to contribute more toward their projects rather than relying heavily on public funds.

With the Bears pushing for a prompt decision to commence construction, it appears they face significant hurdles in gaining state approval for their plan.
